Well at least this is a usefull expenditure of taxpayer money I can backup. And I bet George picked a evil Necromancer to play.

Heh heh.  I knew W was a classics kind of guy.  That's the old version of the game I used to play.  The book covers don't look anything like that anymore.

Those books/screens are the first revision of the first edition AD&D.  George isn't playing he's the DM, look to the President's left for the evil necromancer.   

I'm surprised that no one noticed yet the Commadore 64 and the stack of 5 1/4" floppies on the table.  Maybe someone did what I did and wrote up a random number generators in old basic.  Hurry someone go over there and type in "SYS64738" and hit enter.

you did that too. Man, I used to spend hour generating encounters with the proggy I wrote.

Sweeeeeett!

Not just on a C64 but also on a very old Digital equipment mainframe at school.  I had the best character generator in my high-school.   People flipped when the system rolled an 18 Strength and then automatically rolled the bonus 1~100%.  I had been programming since I was 15 until about seven years ago.  Everything from Assembler to Pascal. 

Now when your program rolled abilities did it pick a random number from 1 to 18 like some people I knew.  Or did you do it like I did and randomize 1 to 6 together three times then add them together.

The second method is the only true method.

I wrote a proggy that created the monster encounter, their stats, specials if any, hit points, weapons and armor, and the experience value of each creature.
